I am a truck person but drive 30 plus each way to work now. Decided I needed to have something better on gas but must be able to get out of its own way. Mini seem to fit the bill. I looked at all kinds of mini's (in my price range) Bought a 2006 S Convertable. I have had it for 5k miles and just had first service done. All was good. I just put a set of hankook tires on it. This far it has been good, however I cannot find how to go slow!!!. By the way I still have my truck!!!!

 

Welcome aboard sounds very nice Mini. we love pictures. good luck
